Internal Ballistics is a comprehensive guide to the science of firearms, written by James Atkinson Longridge and first published in 1889. The book delves deep into the mechanics of firearms and their ammunition, exploring the physics of the bullet's trajectory and the forces that propel it. It covers topics such as the internal pressures and temperatures generated by gunpowder, the effects of barrel length and rifling on accuracy, and the factors that determine the velocity and energy of a bullet. Longridge's work is highly technical and aimed at those with a strong background in mathematics and physics. However, it also provides a fascinating glimpse into the technology and engineering of firearms in the late 19th century. The book includes numerous diagrams, tables, and equations to illustrate its points, as well as historical examples and anecdotes to demonstrate the practical applications of the principles it describes. Overall, Internal Ballistics remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the science of firearms or the history of technology. Its detailed explanations and thorough analysis make it a classic of the field, and it continues to be studied and referenced by scholars and enthusiasts alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
